Sammy’s Pit Stop Café was named Coffee Shop of the Year
The Museum is delighted to announce that on Tuesday 24th March, Sammy’s Pit Stop Café was named Coffee Shop of the Year at the New Milton Advertiser & Times Food and Drink Awards 2026, held at the Beaulieu Inn Hotel. Nominated by the public from across the New Forest and Christchurch, and judged by industry experts, the accolade marks a significant achievement for the team.
Based at the heart of the Museum, Sammy’s Pit Stop has quickly earned a reputation for its welcoming atmosphere and inclusive, allergy-friendly menu. Judges praised the café’s outstanding standard of service, while customers highlighted its relaxed, friendly environment.
The team at Sammy’s Pit Stop extend their sincere thanks to their loyal customers for their continued support.
With the New Forest boasting a wealth of excellent eateries, competition was understandably fierce. That makes this recognition all the more impressive – particularly for a café that has been open little more than a year. It’s a clear sign that Sammy’s Pit Stop is already operating at the very top of its game.
Tuesday Morning Ride In
Our Tuesday morning ride-in is going from strength to strength, with an ever-growing number of riders joining us for a relaxed catch-up over excellent coffee and freshly baked cakes, all prepared on site by the team. It’s the perfect setting to soak up the welcoming atmosphere, admire an ever changing line up of machines, and swap stories from the road with fellow enthusiasts.
The café, now settled into its new location within the Museum complex, has quickly established itself as a real hub for bikers and visitors alike. With many groups returning regularly, it’s clear that the combination of friendly service, great food, and a vibrant, sociable atmosphere is proving a resounding success.
